This repository contains the FastPdfKit iOS library with some sample projects. This library allows you to add some of the features of the FastPdf application to your own app, allowing it to support pdf documents. For more information, see the FastPdfKit website and the Support website.

• Added a temp fix to address search and extraction of text whose fonts metrics is saved only in the embedded font descriptor. An actual fix would require to develop a font descriptor parser.

• Hardcoded the CID font files inside the library. No need to keep them in the bundle. They will be physically removed from the repo at later date.

• Small fix to space handling in both text search and extraction.

• Added check to avoid a few 4.0 methods getting called on earlier iOS versions.
• Fixed wrong transformation on double page mode for page with angle different from 0.

• Added support to link annotation with Remote Go-To actions.
• Updated manual with latest methods.

• Added methods to convert points and rect to and from different coordinate systems. Take a look at the MFDocumentViewController for details.
• Documented the method to get the cropbox and rotation angle for each document page.

• Finally fixed the bad behavior of the detail (tiled) view on retina device.
• Fixed a bug involving rendering of the preview pages at low res on retina display introduced a few updates ago.
• The -didGoToPage callback is now called once when a page is changed on user scroll input.

• Fixed the bleeding of the pdf, usually on the front and back covers, introduced with the previous fixes.

• Fixed a bug where disabling the shadow, the page resulted with a transparent backing
• Fixed a rare occurrence of a crash while searching due to array boundaries miscalculation

• Added a sample application (FastPdfKit Resizing Sample) to illustrate how to handle the situation where the MFDocumentViewController's view is added as a subview of another view. The MFDocumentViewController has not been created to used that way, but there's a simple workaround to getting things work in most cases.

• Added directional lock to the page scroll view.
• Changed popover behavior in the DocumentViewControllerKiosk. This should fix crash when reopening a document when dismissed with an open popover.
• Fixed a few more leaks.

• Thumbnails are laid out correctly upon rotation.

• Fixed a nasty bug in the parser of True Type font. CMap parser redone on the ground up to be formatting agnostic. Most of the search/extraction related crash should be fixed now. Remember to try the test_ versions of search and extraction function.

• Added an optional tiled version of the overlay view. If you want sharp drawables when zoomed in, set MFDocumentViewController's useTiledOverlayView to YES. Keep in mind that tiled layer rendering is slower, and memory usage is higher.
• Dropped search view controller and mini search view local copy of search manager delegate's results. They now directly access the data source results. Crash caused by inconsistency between the local copy and the data source data should be fixed.
• Replaced inner rendering parameters data class with a simpler struct together with a better synchronization between threads. Crash on CALayer status error with NAN origin should be fixed.

• Added two alternative methods in MFDocumentManager for text search and extraction. The methods are -(void)test_searchResultOnPage:(NSUInteger)page forSearchTerms:(NSString *)searchTerms -(void)test_wholeTextForPage:(NSUInteger)page They return the same results of the non _test versions. To use them, replace the occurrence of the older methods in the project, as exemplified in comments of TextSearchOperation's main() method and TextDisplayViewController's selectorWholeTextForPage: method.

• Fixed the floating page issue, when the page is changed when zoomed in.

• Better handling of the device orientation at startup.

• Fixed a bug where right drawables were not displayed.
• Zoom animation for setPage:withZoomLevel:onRect: is now correct. Moreover, passing 0 as the level of zoom will let the application try to fit the rect on screen.
• Fixed a crash when an annotation with an uri shorter than 7 char is found.
• Added leftPageNumber and rightPageNumber variables to the MFDocumentViewController.
• Fixed the autoMode on rotation not being considered at startup.

• Replaced URLForResource with pathForResources for 3.X compatibility;
• Added (float)zoomScale and (CGPoint)zoomOffset methods to MFDocumentViewController to get zoom position;
• Added support for CGPDFDocumentCreateWithProvider with method initWithDataProvider:(CGDataProviderRef)provider;
• Option to remove shadow and render the page fullscreen on MFDocumentViewController using (float)padding and (BOOL)showShadow methods;
• Fixed another crash with search results.

• Fixed ignored optional flag for the didChangeMode: callback.
• Added didReceiveTapOnAnnotationRect:wither:onPage: method. This replaces didReceiveURIRequest:, but the latter is still called.

• Fixed a crash when the searched string will not fit in the mini search view. Bookmarks not being saved when the popover is dismissed by clicking outside fixed. Double tap to zoom out will now work even when the zoom in has been performed manually. Added a callback to ask the documentviewcontroller delegate if a video will have to autoplay or not. Added page parameter to the double tap annotation callback. Removed a few unneeded logs and minor tweaks.

• Kiosk application target added. Kiosk is a demo application with a customizable list of document to choose from. Viewer is enhanced with a scrollable list of page thumbnail and nicer interface.

• Early support for type 0 fonts for search and text extraction
• Fix on bookmarks controller buttons

• Download and extract the last sample project;

• Open your existing app Xcode project, open Project menu and choose Add to Project… ⌥⌘A, then locate FastPdfKit folder inside the downloaded package and click Add ( this folder include the file MFDocumentViewController.h , libFastPDFKit.a and many other file ), be sure to check Copy items into destination group’s folder (if needed);

• Right click on the Framework group and select Add and then Existing Framework…, then choose QuartzCore.framework from the list and press Add;

• With the same method Add all of this framework : UIKit.framework , CoreText.framework , libz.1.2.3.dylib , AVFoundation.framework , MediaPlayer.framework , CFNetwork.framework , AudioToolbox.framework , Foundation.framework and CoreGraphics.framework.

• Choose or add a new controller (we will call it LauncherController) to manage pdf documents and in the .h file add and add lines 3 and 7 to the controller

    //  LauncherController.h
    #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
    @class MFDocumentManager;
    @interface LauncherController : UIViewController {
    }
    -(IBAction)actionOpenPlainDocument:(id)sender;
    @end
  

• Add this code before the @implementation line in the .m file

    #import "MFDocumentManager.h"
    #import "MFDocumentViewController.h"
    #define DOC_PLAIN @"FastPdfKit-1.0RC1"
  

• Implement at least this method in the .m file

     //  LauncherController.m	
    -(IBAction)actionOpenPlainDocument:(id)sender {
    	NSString *documentPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:DOC_PLAIN ofType:@"pdf"];
    	NSURL *documentUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:documentPath];	
    	MFDocumentManager *aDocManager = [[MFDocumentManager alloc]initWithFileUrl:documentUrl];
    	MFDocumentViewController *aDocViewController = [[MFDocumentViewController alloc]initWithDocumentManager:aDocManager];
    	[self presentModalViewController:aDocViewController animated:YES]; 
    	[aDocViewController release];
    }
  

• Now call the above action to open the pdf. You can find the code above with comments in the BasicLauncherController class.

Within FastPdfKit folder there are many other sample controllers (in the Controllers group) where you can find methods (heavily commented) to manage every feature.
